The second Treasury seal, used for the later notes, is very similar in design to the original seal used earlier, the main difference being that the second seal has notably sharper detail.

The second obligation indicates that the note is "receivable in payment of all loans made to the United States", whereas the first obligation had made the note "exchangeable for U.S. Six per cent Twenty Years Bonds".
